Who:    Doug Marttila
What:   Flash and Data Visualization

When:   Wednesday, November 9, 6:00 PM
Where:  MIT, Building E51 (Tang Center), Room 151


More and more data is available and being visualized everyday. The innovations
of Web 2.0 are changing how we think and interact with data. But Web 2.0 has
focused primarily on technologies like Ajax and RSS. These technologies are
great, but can be visually limiting. Fortunately, Flash can step in where Ajax
leaves off, allowing you to create anything from simple bar charts to websites
that function like desktop applications.

Come see how Flash can be used to visualize data. What are its advantages and
disadvantages? What are the design considerations when developing dynamic apps?
And finally, how do you code this stuff?


Doug Marttila is Lead Developer at Visual i|o (www.visual-io.com), a leading
provider of business-focused data visualizations. He is presenting at this
year's Macromedia MAX Conference, where he will speak about using Flash for data
visualization.
